iOS 5 Official Public Release

So do you guys have any idea when the official release will be? I'm trying to remember back to iOS 4. Did they wait for the day the iPhone 4 was shipped to the public? Or did we get iOS 4 for our 3GS before iPhone 4 was released?

Probably October 12th. Ever since the 3.0 release they have put out the final x.0 software a few days before the phone release date, to avoid the crazy server crashes that happened on 2.0, which prevented a lot of people from activating their phones in the store.

So yeah I'd have to say it'll be either the Tuesday or wednesday before the launch date. Although the GM (which non-devs can install if they want) will be available a few hours after the October 4th event in all likelihood.

Logically, we should see a GM on Oct 4 or just after, or maybe a Beta 8 with Siri assistant and new things not yet announced, then a GM a week after, just before iPhone 4S / 5 launch.
So mid oct. seems a safe bet, no ?

Doubtful on the beta 8... its sasid the assistant won't be on the current iPhone 4.

Will my current iPhone 4 be upgradable to 64gb with an operating system upgrade?
Will the new iOS 5 upgrade my camera to 8 mp?
Will the iPhone 4 have SIRI?

Thanks

Answers: No, no, and I think no.

Your hardware is what it is when purchased - and upgrading the OS can't change that. As to Siri on an iPhone4 with iOS5 - I'm guessing that Siri will need the processor upgrade of the 4S to properly operate... but I could be wrong - I think this is the first that Siri has been in the mix for beta-testing. If someone has it working on an iPhone4, we'll know soon enough.
